Quickly changing weather during my last visit prevented me from photographing all of the mosaics, so I was only able to show the mosaics on the eastern side of each monument. Here I present the western mosaics:
Pentecost.
The Ascension.
Jesus teaching.
The Crucifixion.
The Last Supper.
“I will be your God, you will be my people.”
King David.
Moses and the Burning Bush.
The Blessed Virgin Mary.
I'm not sure what this represents. [Update: this is most likely Creation.]

ReplyDeletePerhaps the Creation of the Sun, based on Michelangelo's original?

Wow! These are completely stunning! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, this is clearly inspired by the Sistine Ceiling of Michelangelo. It's not quite the same, as he's making the moon, as well as the sun at the same time in the original fresco.
